Alessandro—a super senior in Pforzheimer—and Betsy casually hold hands as they wait. The waiting, far from being dull or awkward, is jocular and full of anticipation. As people banter, Alessandro unfolds a square table and places it in the center of the room. East of the table is a small red couch—the type with no arms. North of the table is a futon covered with a sheet. Opposite the futon is the chair Betsy and Alessandro share—a fuzzy auborigine loveseat with arms of imposing breadth...
...dynamic rules the exchanges between the leading men and their director. During the interview, they were completely doubled over in laughter, ridiculing each other (“Your faggotry overwhelms me”) and trading inside-jokes (“Homoquizzical, you flaming homosensual”).

...bowl? This is where you might find it. The small crowd of buyers is welcome to sit on the furniture for sale - which ranges in style from Biedermeier to Swedish Modern - and there's a cozy ambience. Kick back on an Art Deco settee and enjoy the auctioneer's banter: "Now here's a tiger-fabric chaise longue. Remember Eartha Kitt?
